Summary: World Tour Rocks
Comment: Guitar Hero World Tour
If you have played guitar hero before....its the same gameplay but with a whole lot of GREAT SONGS! Adding a mic or drums adds great play. Great family/friend fun for all ages.

Summary: The Best Yet
Comment: Okay... if you have liked GH this far... you will LOVE this. I love that they have so many new song all in one collection. The set list is AWESOME. GH 1, GH 2, Rock the 80's, I beat in an afternoon, and loved every minute of it. This one just has too many songs and most are great. BUY IT!... You WILL thank me later.

Summary: Great set list!
Comment: Guitar Hero is a blast! I got the game only, because I already have two guitars. I figured I can add the mic and drums later if I want. This version of Guitar Hero has an awesome list of songs, with a lot more variety than previous installments. I look forward to enjoying it more!

Summary: This game brought to you by Mel Karmazin and some music execs
Comment: My wife, brother, and I all spent hours and hours playing GH3 on the Wii. Few games have matched it in terms of pure addiction. We have RB and RB2 for the XBox as well, and both are also a ton of fun. However, this game is terrible.
Recently Sirius and XM merged, and the result was channel lineup rearrangements that removed all of the good niche music. It was replaced by 50 channels that all play the same top 40 music within a specific genre. So instead of a wide variety of music throughout a genre, you get a block of the same 40 top songs within each genre. Presumably the music is newer and hotter on the charts. It is repulsive though.
This game is the video game equivalent of that. A bunch of music execs got in a room and picked the "best" music. What you get is a setlist which is 90% garbage. Example- Oasis sold like a million records in the 90s despite being a horrible, talentless band. While the RB and previous GH teams know not to include one of their most horrible songs on their games, it appears on this one. Jimi Hendrix, one of the greatest musicians ever appears on this game twice. Too bad they are 2 of the most boring made-for-radio songs he ever produced.
What's more is that even the decent songs are repeated from the RB or RB2 set lists, and are often more fun to play on that game. My wife, brother, and I got this last night and fired it up with much excitement. We forced ourselves to play for about an hour before giving up. We're planning to take it right to EBGames this weekend to sell it for $15.
This game is a total failure. I would give it 0 stars if I could. Save your money.

Summary: Wait for the price to come down
Comment: Unfortunately, this game fell well short of my expectations. I bought GH3 for my wife, and both of us loved it. So when this came out, we were really looking forward to it. But it quite honestly just isn't as fun.
Pros:
-Drums and vocals which allow for more people to join in on the action
-Features galore, creating your own character, mixing your own song, etc...
Cons:
-Song selection is focused more on slow-tempo items, which for us are not as fun to play. It's much more enjoyable to play "Cliffs of Dover" (GH3) than it is to play "Love Me 2 Times" (GHWT)
-As others have mentioned, you have to play a whole set instead of playing just a song or two
I think that it really comes down to your taste in music. GH2 and GH3 were more metal/punk, whereas this one tends to be more classic rock (it's not ALL classic rock, but it has more than its share). Also, the previous GH's each had a couple of songs that I dreaded playing, but this one has a larger proportion of terrible songs.
